A company register is a register of organizations such as companies in the jurisdiction they operate under.[1] Registration is normally mandated by the government of that jurisdiction.
A company register serves a purpose of protection, accountability and control. In contrast many countries also operate a statistical business register which has a different purpose and plays a central part in a system of official economic statistics at a national statistics office.[2]
